High Mean of RDP Session Duration

edit

A machine learning job has detected unusually high mean of RDP session duration. Long RDP sessions can be used to evade detection mechanisms via session persistence, and might be used to perform tasks such as lateral movement, that might require uninterrupted access to a compromised machine.

Rule indices: None

Severity: low

Risk score: 21

Runs every: 15m

Searches indices from: now-12h (Date Math format, see also Additional look-back time)
